A trans Atlantic cable war is imminent
at New York. The Mackay company in
sist that sea bottom service can be main
tanned and conducted profitably at less
rate than 40 cents word for messages,
and have given its competitors notice that
unless an understanding can be arrived at
and lower rate than is now charged
agreed upon within certain specified time,
they will make and maintain lower rate
even if 1t goes as low as 12 cents a word.
The only point of concern to the public in
this squabble is the fact. which seems to
be established. that they are and have been
paying too much for their cable service,
and the prospective relief to result from
the quarrel.

The Macon, (Ga) Telegraph asks: How
long will it be before white immigrants
W Ill come south to compete with the negro
at 40 cents day in the felds?" The
white Immigrants will go wherever the
conditions of industry make possible fair
competition at fair wages. The fields are
the natural places for work for the negro,
as he was largely raised in them, but the
south has other avenues open TO labor, and
its possibilities are great. If the field Ia
borer does not seek employment there, cap
ital does. Over $500, 600. 600 of northern
capital has sought investment In the south.
In four years Virginia, Alabama and Ten
nessee increased production of pig iron 300
600 tons. The value of iron mines of Ala,
has increased from $500, 600 to $50, 000, 900.
The cotton mills have doubled in number
and capacity in the last four years, and
the cotton seed mills have doubled that
rate Of increase in the same length of time.
Other Industrial interests have steadily in
creased. The south is in a new era. A
new condition of things is presented. Slave
labor has disappeared. and other employ
ments than that of the fields must be open
ed up. This is being done, and the policy
that will build up industries there will be
The one that will insure the addition of men
and money to its new prosperity. How
ever, capital will not seek investment In
agricultural lands where farming operations
will not warrant the payment of better
rate of wages than 40 cents day, nor will
farm labor immigrate to such a
section when 1t can find more liberal re- |
This idea set the tide of i'm |
migration west and still impels it hither.

his escape to Canada Sheriff Matson an
nounced his determination to recover the
person of the fugitive at any cost and at all
hazards. He offered reward of So, 500
for his capture and return to the field of
his operations. The telegraph announced
from day to day that detectives, both from
Chicago and the dominion, were on the
track of the fugitive, and even went so far
as to locate his hiding place. Now the
statement is given out that despite all the
make believe determined effort to appre-
bend the fugitive, he has deliberately taken
passage on an ocean steamer bound for
Gibraltar. The character and magnitude
of the case against the Doodle gang elected
general public interest in its outcome, but
the miserable fzzle of jury trial with the
mock penalties attached upon the cOnvic-

shammery practiced In the attempt to cap

COLLEGE WAR CRIES.

One of the college papers has compiled list and history of college cheers. Ac cording to it the original shouts of the colleges were repetition of the Dame oi the college. This gave an advantage tc the colleges which had sonorous names and as the constant aim of cheering is tc make more noise than the other cheerers new yells wero evolved by 6 process oi evolution. These came into existence c quarter of a century ago, when Yale and Harvard had their boat races on Lake Quinsigamond, when the Rah hl 'Rah 'Rah thrice repeated was first heard.

MARRIED kY THEIR SON,

'l have story for you, said a drum mer. ''I don't mean yarn or joke, but simple account of fact.
 "Last week was out in Iowa, and one night stopped ill Ottumwa. There be- came well acquainted with young man. On his invitation I sat in his room in the evening, and he told me that he was a minister of the gospel who had been or- dained few weeks before, and had come to Ottumwa to perform the marriage cere- mony for some friends of his. In fact, the ceremony was to take place that very night in his room.
 Pretty soon a rather elderly couple came in, shook hands warmly with my friend, ending in standing up before him and being married in the usual form. Af- ter time they left, and my new friend said to me:
 "'That, I think, is the most peculiar marriage ceremony a minister ever per- formed I never heard of it's equal, and never expect to- .,@
 "'What do you mean?' I said.
 "'I'n tell you,' was his reply, "only you must bear in mind that it is secret.
 "'My father and mother were pioneers in county not far from this city. I was reared on their farm, and finally sent off to school. My parents are well-to-do people, church workers, and are highly respected in the neighborhood
 "'About two years ago my father wrote me letter, in which he wanted my advice and assistance. To make the story short, and not to stop to describe the peculiar circumstances, can say that my fathers trouble was that he had never been mar ried to the woman who passed as his wife.
 "'For years they had been satisfied with this relationship, but at length my mother began to worry about it. She wanted the ceremony performed legally. My father had no objection, but did not dare to go to any minister or functionary in the neighborhood.
 "'You know what country communities are, and what unpleasant talk would have followed. Then my father consulted me, and the result of it was decision to wait.
 Two weeks ago was ordained a min ister, and our plans were then carried out. The couple I just married were my own father and mother. '"-Des MOi,aes LeGder.
